John Vokoun

Biography:

A child of the personal computer era, John Vokoun has been fascinated with the computer as an art medium since he attended programming camp at age 9. From his first green and black CRT drawings on an Apple II to his present-day interaction with a variety of computerized machines, the computer’s influence on his work is only matched by the color field paintings of Albers, Itten, Kelly, and Rothko. With computer data and geometry, he seeks to channel the chaos of the Information Age into simple forms. Founder of Fire Dragon Color, a fine art printing company that has helped produce numerous award-winning books, Vokoun resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His work has shown at William Siegal Gallery and recently exhibited at the New Mexico Museum of Art.
